Wakenhyrst Book – signed copy
Lisa Writes…

Good afternoon, my mum has lost her signed copy of her favourite book. Would it be possible to pay for another copy at all please. Many thanks

Michelle Replies…

Dear Lisa, I’m so sorry to hear that about your mum’s book, but I’m afraid I can’t send you another signed copy, as if I did it for you I’d have to do it for everyone, and that wouldn’t really be feasible.  I hope you understand.  I can tell you, though, that I’ll be doing a few book events in the autumn, and as soon as details are finalised, we’ll post the venues on my website – so if there’s one near you, I’d be happy to sign another copy if you bring it along.  I hope that helps a bit.  And I’m chuffed to know that your mum likes Wakenhyrst so much!  With very best wishes to you both, Michelle
